Well, I'm not. It seems like a decision made in haste.

Maybe I'll get used to it in a few decades, but right now I feel very disappointed. We were so close to agreeing on something nice, and then for some reason it all went pear-shaped. :-(

PEP 318 is now nearly 14 months old. There's been a truly staggering number of posts on the subject - and every time it's raised, the same points come up. The only things to have happened recently were the new @ syntax, and PJE's settrace hack.

If not now, when? This could drag on for another 14 months, otherwise - and I really don't want to hold up 2.4 final for that long.
